The One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) Initiative unveiled it’s XO laptop, the initiatives first industrial prototype at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week.

The laptop is designed to be used with very little power, and can run on less than three watts to browse the internet and only one watt to display an electronic book, compared to the 40 watts necessary to power a typical laptop. The XO Laptop from OLPC has a battery charger built into the machine that runs by pulling a cord to recharge the battery. “Power was obviously our main concern,” said Michalis Bletsas, OLPC’s chief connectivity officer, at the unveiling in Las Vegas.

Network connections happen wirelessly through a new “mesh” technology that will connect to any other XO laptop within 600 meters, or any mesh network within range. The screens come in color or black and white designed specifically for use in bright sunlight, and all come equipped with a video camera and speakers. The XO runs on a compact and secure version of the Linux OS.

The intent of the inexpensive laptops is to bring even the most remote villages into the Information Age, and they plan to use five million of these laptops to do it. The laptop is currently being marketed for $130 USC each, but the OLCP hopes to bring the price to less than $100 USD per unit. Plans are to start delivering the machines this summer and have five million units delivered within the first year.
